Possible trades for the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks
The Detroit Pistons need a shake-up. There's little chance of salvaging a roster on a historic losing streak like this, so the Pistons should be active before this year's trade deadline.
The New York Knicks are a team to watch, as they were just dealt a tough blow when center Mitchell Robinson was ruled out for the season.

The Pistons have a couple of extra centers, so it's possible the two teams could come to a mutually beneficial deal.
The Pistons need to find a way to change the makeup of the roster, add more three-point shooting or even try to recoup their first-round pick so that bigger moves would be possible.
The Pistons could go for a one-for-one trade or something bigger.
